LOGO PHYSICS OF THE MIDDLE AND UPPER ATMOSPHERE中高层大气物理学Absorption 2011 Optical Depth Altitude n I dI/dz σ (Cross Section) ?m=1 The smaller is the cross section of certain wavelength interaction with gas particles, the deeper can it penetrate into the atmosphere. Altitude n I dI/dz Maximum Rate/Height Rate The ratio σi/σa = ηi is called the ionization efficiency The production at maximum can never be larger than for an overhead Sun. Height Constant scale height The height of the maximum ion production deceases as the zenith angle decreases. Absorption Rate In an isothermal atmosp
